Chapter 54
When a basin of cold water was poured over her head, Naomi reacted like a startled cat. She jumped from the bed, patting herself to get rid of the cold water.
A young maid, trembling with the basin in her hands, said, “Mrs. Ludwig, it was Mr. Ludwig’s order.”
After saying this, the maid glanced nervously at Brendan:
Naomi’s gaze followed the mald’s, and she saw Brendan standing with his hands in his pockets, looking coldly at her. Without a word, she picked up an ornament from the nearby cabinet and threw it at him.
“Brendan, are you crazy?”
In an instant, water droplets from her soaked body flew everywhere.
Seeing Naomi getting angry, the maid was frightened and ran out with the basin.
Brendan managed to dodge the ornament thrown by her. She was soaked from head to toe and couldn’t swallow her anger. She got out of bed and confronted him directly.
Although she was skilled in martial arts, she didn’t have a significant advantage when facing Brendan. She tried to hit him with various objects, but in the end, she only managed to scratch his face a little.
When Naomi forcefully threw her clothes at Brendan, he reached out and grabbed her face, questioning her coldly, “Am I the crazy one, or you, Naomi? You just let anyone into our house and even into my room?
Brendan’s grip on her face wasn’t gentle, and Naomi’s cheeks turned pale.
“I’m crazy?” Naomi smiled ironically, then pushed away his hand. “Brendan, if you can’t remember what happened last night, let Mason help you recall. Ask him whose name you were calling when you came back.”
When Naomi brought up his drunken state, Brendan’s expression shifted.
But Brendan still felt angry when he thought about how Naomi had pushed him away. He said, “Naomi, do you want to be that generous? Fine, I’ll indulge you. Today, I’ll bring that person back for you. Make sure you clear out your things and get out as far as possible.”
He and Naomi hadn’t made much progress in their relationship over the two years, but she had already let someone else into their lives. Fine, he would indulge her.
Brendan told her to leave, and Naomi coldly replied, “I’ll leave right now.”
2/2
They had been married for over two years. How many times had she suppressed her pride and approached him? How many times had she attempted to entice him?
